Top end: "Donga". (Radar: Projects).(Brief Article)
Nov, 2000
Build-Up Design's "Love Shack", right, investigates the Top End "Donga", a totally factory-built house type which arrives on site on the back of a truck.

The option shown here utilises passive tropical design principles -- lightweight single-skin construction, awnings, shutters, 3/4 height walls -- to maximise airflow and light while also providing protection from monsoon rains.
